Sorry I should have probably been clearer. I was referring to an 8" tube on the EQ5. You can get away with the GoTo dob for planetary imaging and it will be great when observing but for imaging DSO's you will be much happier with the images from the ED80 on an EQ5. I wouldn't recommend the GoTo dob for deep sky imaging unless the budget dictated it. Unfortunately imaging is one of the more expensive sides to this hobby even at the entry level.
However spend wisely and you'll have a much harder time trying to outgrow the HEQ5 Pro ED80 setup as opposed to the 8" GoTo dob especially when it comes to imaging DSO's.
